Table Scale SD1 for 15 kg Weighing

A table scale measures ingredients, portions and prepped food directly on the worktop without moving them to a separate station. The SD1 uses an internal load cell to sense weight: when an item is placed on the platform, the cell flexes by a fraction of a millimetre. An electronic circuit converts that tiny movement into a digital reading, which the LCD shows. The method is fast, consistent and unaffected by air currents or vibration, giving the same result every time the same item is weighed.

To use the scale, place it on a level, stable surface. Connect the power supply: either insert the battery or plug the mains adapter into a standard socket. Press the power button to switch on; the display lights up and shows zero. If the platform is not empty, press the tare button to reset the reading to zero. Place the item to be weighed on the platform; the weight appears on the LCD. For portion control, place a container on the platform, press tare to ignore its weight, then add the ingredient until the target weight is reached. When finished, remove the item, switch off the scale and store it.

The SD1 is built with a stainless-steel platform that resists corrosion and wipes clean. The housing is plastic, chosen for light weight and resistance to kitchen chemicals. The LCD is sealed behind a clear window to keep out dust and moisture. Controls are two buttons: one for power and one for tare. The scale can be powered by battery for portability or by mains for continuous use without battery changes.

The 15 kg maximum weight allows the scale to handle bulk ingredients, large cuts of meat and full containers without overloading. The 2/5 g readability means the scale shows weights in 2 g steps up to 5 kg and 5 g steps above that, giving precise measurements for both small spices and larger items. The 3 kg weight of the scale itself makes it easy to lift and move between workstations or store in a cupboard when not in use. The footprint of 230 x 230 mm fits on most worktops, leaving space for bowls and utensils alongside.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the platform and housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each session. Avoid immersing the scale in water or using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the display or housing. If the scale is battery-powered, remove the battery before cleaning to prevent short circuits. Store the scale in a dry place to protect the electronics from moisture.

The SD1 is a single model with no variants. It is a standalone scale and does not connect to other equipment.
